Contest! Win a C&C California for Burt’s Bee’s T-shirt in Size Medium

UPDATE: Congratulations to Nina on winning this contest. Nina, an email has been sent to you!

Here is your chance to win a great C&C California T-shirt, and you can even get three chances! Once here at Beauty and Fashion Tech, once at Girl Gloss, and yet another chance at the Vote for Natural site in the information below.

If you are not familiar with either Burt’s bees or C&C California, you should be.

Now, Burt’s Bees has teamed up with actress Julian Moore to give consumers the opportunity to cast their votes for natural personal care at Burt’s Bees’ Election Day in New York City and to win prizes such as a C&C California shirt. Here is the information that I was sent on the promotion:

Like many consumers, Burt’s Bees has always believed that natural ingredients are safer and more beneficial. The trouble is, it can take a lot of reading between the lines of labels to figure out what’s natural vs. synthetic. To help consumers find what they’re really looking for in a natural product, Burt’s Bees has worked closely with the Natural Products Association and other likeminded brands to develop a Natural Seal—a symbol that lets consumers know when products contain at least 95% natural ingredients. On Burt’s Bees’ Voting Day, a vote for natural is also a vote for the Natural Seal, helping make natural a clear choice after all.

To ensure that the best candidate comes out on top, “green” actress Julianne Moore will be on hand to cast the first vote for natural at the Burt’s Bees Voting Booth at Merchants’ Gate at Columbus Circle in NYC. Other NYC voters can learn more about ‘natural’, cast their vote and receive samples of Burt’s Bees products.

Most importantly, consumers across the America are invited to join Julianne and this movement, casting their votes for the natural at www.votefornatural.com, where they can also learn more about the movement as well as win prizes, including a limited-edition C&C California for Burt’s Bees T-Shirt. Each vote represents a conscious choice to use natural products over the potentially harmful synthetic alternatives as well as support for the new Natural Seal. A ‘vote’ for Natural lets the competition know that the public wants transparency in natural personal care.

You can also win one of the C&C California shirts on both Beauty and Fashion Tech and Girl Gloss! The one being given away here is size Medium.

How To Enter: Leave a comment before the end of Tuesday, September 23, stating why you appreciate or would like to try natural products, Burt’s Bees, or C&C California. You must answer one of those questions in order to be entered. Just saying “hi” won’t cut it! One entry per household please. Duplicate entries will be disqualified. On September 24, I will randomly select a winner, who will be notified here and by email. Failure to respond within 7 days will result in the prize being redrawn.

I will be out of town during much of this contest, so please don’t be alarmed if your entry doesn’t show up right away, I will likely be approving comments much slower than normal! Promotional/spam comments entries will be deleted per the comment policy. Please don’t use your website or product as your user name or include promotional or commercial links in the text, it violates the comment policy.

Good luck!

This ritual signifies the beginning of the two week period where the limited supply of coveted Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusive items become available. So, what is the best way to guarantee a successful shopping mission? The answer is easy: PRE-ORDER!

Beginning June 23rd, Nordstrom is pre-selling your favorite exclusives both in stores and online at Nordstrom.com, allowing consumers to reserve these limited-edition offerings from their favorite brands. On July 18th the race to the cosmetic department will begin, as devoted beauty junkies can seize the opportunity to get a hold of these unique items.

This year, over 100 beauty brands are participating. Some highlights include MAC, Chanel, Juicy Couture, NARS, Kiehl’s, Laura Mercier, Marc Jacobs, Dior, Bobbi Brown and Philosophy.

Personally I have my eye on the Dior Gaucho Palette that is pictured. It looks amazing! There is also a neat looking Trish McEvoy palette, some nice looking items from Bobbie Brown, the highly anticipated MAC Colorforms collection, and much more.
